The man dressed in white suddenly charged at them without any warning. Shiv who was still carrying Ira on his arms, couldn"t defend himself at that moment.Aditya swifty acted and crossed swords with that man, before he got to Shiv.
Each and every blow that man landed were quite strong making Aditya suppressed.
Shiv who was watching the fight in the sidelines decided to place Ira in somewhere safe, so that he could go and help Aditya.
"So this is your true strength. You simply played with me when we fought earlier! d.a.m.n you!" Aditya sneered at that man, while he continued to be emotionless.
That man was like a robot. He showed no emotions on his face. He simply followed that guy"s orders. His eyes looked dead.
Aditya"s vein popped as he was so annoyed by that expressionless guy. He lost control of his emotions that he charged at that guy without thinking.
The next moment, Aditya was stabbed on his stomach, as the blood gushed out from his wound.
Shiv ran to his aid and stood on guard with his sword unsheathed.
"Aditya, are you alright? Why did you lose your cool over this guy? Pull yourself together!" Shiv yelled at him.
Aditya looked like he was totally having fun.
"Did you forget that I can"t be killed. Shiv, you should just go and take care of Lady Ira. I will kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d for good!" A wicked smile was plastered across Aditya"s handsome face, as his eyes started to glow.
He took a perfect stance as was in for the kill. Seeing him so serious, made Shiv stare at him in disbelief.
He had always seen Aditya as someone gentle, warm and caring. But the Aditya before him, seemed like a different person.
He charged at him with precise speed and strength, which made that man shudder, but it didn"t make that man lose his concentration.
That man went in for another attack with both of his swords, as he tried to distract Aditya with one sword, while the other one was meant to strike.
Aditya didn"t flinch even a little as he avoided both of his swords and took his chance to give him a last strike.
Aditya"s sword pierced into his stomach as the blood gushed out from his deep wound. But that man remained unchanged. His expression was as stern as ever, he looked completely like someone who was unharmed, even though he just received a deep wound.
Aditya began to notice the weirdness about that man and went it for another attack. This time, his attack was strong enough to cut off his arm. But still that man didn"t look bothered.
At that time, Aditya finally noticed that he was fighting with a puppet and not the real person.
He finished off the puppet in a single blow and yelled in a slightly annoyed tone.
"What the h.e.l.l? Where are you hiding? Come out and fight me!"
The sound of clapping hands was heard. Shiv and Aditya swiftly turned around to see who that was.
"You are indeed the great demon general! You do live up to your name... But, I think your skills have rusted to a great extent!" The hand of the puppet that was torn by Aditya earlier was pointing a sword at Ira. It swiftly flew towards her with its pointed edge aimed for her heart!
Aditya who was engrossed in the moment was slow to react on time that it pa.s.sed through him. Luckily, Shiv was close by. He caught the sword with his bare hand, making his wound bleed more.
His eyes were burning with rage.
"HOW DARE YOU! Anybody who dares to hurt her shall die by my hand!" In the fit of rage, his true power completely surfaced as he burnt all the pieces of that puppet into ashes.
That man looked so amused to see Shiv slowly turning into the demon lord that they knew of.
Shiv"s light brown hair started turning flame red. Aditya was shocked to witness it with his own eyes. The body of the people with the strongest elemental power undergo a certain type of changes.
Shiv"s honey coloured and sapphire blue eyes shone brightly even in the dimly lit castle.
Ira woke up by the strong smell of his blood, as they both were connected by the blood pact. She rubbed her eyes cutely as she slowly opened them to find out what was happening around her.
The moment she awakened, her eyes instantly fell on his wounded hand. She slightly felt a burning sensation on her right hand as well.
She couldn"t understand what was happening. But the next moment she came to, Ira was already clinging onto Shiv"s shoulders with her eyes fixed onto his.
Shiv was a little startled to see her awake and well. But before he could react, Ira forcefully pulled his wounded hand nearer to her mouth and blew on it, which healed the wound within seconds.
"Don"t get hurt!" Ira cutely pouted at him while making the most worried face. Unexpectedly, it earned a warm and wide smile from Shiv as he placed his big palm on her head and patted her lovingly.
Ira was dumbstruck to see him smile brightly for the first time. Though he had frequently showed her his smiles, she was ready to bet her life, that it was the first time, he smiled at her brightly. She was totally caught off guard, which made her gulp down on her own saliva.
"What is it that I am witnessing right now.... SO HANDSOME!!! At this rate, I might get a nosebleed! My poor heart...."
Seeing his brightest smile, Ira could only blame her weak heart...
